About the Client

Jack & Abby are highly successful professionals. Wealth has been accumulated through retirement savings, stock options and real estate investments. They have significant work-related demands on their time, including travel. With a young family and busy careers, they need help with tax planning pertaining to their real estate investments and company stock, establishing an estate plan and coordinating financial advice with their accountant and attorney. Their time is limited – they need a proactive “personal CFO” who can help implement and quarterback on their behalf to save them time and ensure opportunities are not missed.

Common Challenges & Goals

Managing the day-to-day challenges of the household and pursuing two demanding careers leaves limited time to implement financial decisions. Within their investment portfolio, Jack & Abby want to find a balance between maximizing returns, structuring their investments for tax efficiency and managing risk appropriately. While a portion of their wealth is not liquid, they want to ensure they are planning effectively around their stock options and resulting tax implications. Ultimately, they need to foster a coordinated effort among their existing advisors.
